This category brings together specialists and organizations taking part in public discussions about the life of Nizhny Novgorod and the region: historians, local historians, and civil society experts. Among them are Dyuzhakov Alexander Mikhailovich, Valery Yurchenkov, as well as participants in venues such as the GosKlub, where issues of youth policy and urban development are discussed. This category also gathers material on public events at which experts state and defend their positions — in particular, the Results of Shantsev's Week of Achievements.
